There are moments where Man Of Steel feels too earnest, too in thrall to the gravity of its own mythology. And then Superman punches Zod through a city block and all is forgiven.&dash; SFX Magazine - EDIT

For all the pre-release chatter of Skyfall being 'Bond with a capital B', steeped in 'a magical Goldfinger feel', it's a film that fights surprisingly shy of the franchise's time-honoured rites.&dash; SFX Magazine - EDIT

Faced with the Curse of the Threes - the ancient jinx that sabotages quality control in the final chapter of any big screen superhero trilogy, Christopher Nolan arms himself with the power of myth.&dash; SFX Magazine - EDIT

Motors on quips and star charm and the primal Top Trumps thrill of assembling its protagonists. But there's no compelling reason for it to exist, no burning tale it needs to tell.&dash; SFX Magazine - EDIT

The choice of Seth Rogen to topline this crimebusting bromedy proves an unlikely but ultimately shrewd one, plugging the void at the heart of the character with an outsize comic persona.&dash; SFX Magazine - EDIT

While the viral campaign and mockumentary style primed us for something in the vein of Cloverfield, District 9 ultimately proves to be in a much older tradition. This is pure body horror in the lineage of Alien, The Thing and The Fly.&dash; SFX Magazine - EDIT

We're soon mired in a predictable tale of revenge, an escalating series of empty tragedies occurring to half-sketched characters that ultimately packs all the emotional resonance of a night on the Xbox.&dash; SFX Magazine - EDIT

It's not a bad film. It's actually coldly, technically brilliant. And it honours Moore and Gibbons only too well. But it's monumental and slab-like, an exercise in cinematic taxidermy, in need of a lightning strike to animate its parts.&dash; SFX Magazine - EDIT
